Hazaribagh Wildlife Sanctuary area consists of undulating plateaus, forests, grasslands and water bodies that provide habitat for deer, small carnivores and rich birdlife. Though not as famous today as some other tiger reserves, the landscape still offers a sense of wilderness close to the town and is used for safaris, nature drives and environmental education.
About this place
History & highlights
Established originally as a wildlife sanctuary and later national park in the mid-20th century, Hazaribagh’s forest area was meant to protect local fauna and check deforestation. Over time, changing wildlife numbers and administrative re-classification affected its status, but historically it represented Jharkhand’s early efforts at conservation. For tourism, it has long been promoted as a “forest outing” for people from Ranchi, Hazaribagh and surrounding areas, reinforcing the town’s identity as a nature-surrounded hill district.
